PRP therapy (Platelet Rich Plasma) - for whom is it useful?<\/strong>
This information is aimed at horse owners whose horse has a Tendon injury<\/strong> or relapses again and again after a long convalescence. PRP utilises the body's own healing mechanisms<\/strong>, to optimise the Fabric quality<\/strong> of the tendon and to improve the Load capacity<\/strong> more sustainably. Autologous, very well tolerated and doping-free.<\/strong><\/p>


What is PRP - and what does it do?<\/strong>
PRP is Platelet-rich plasma<\/strong>, which originates from the Autologous blood<\/strong> of the horse. The blood platelets (thrombocytes) are at least fourfold<\/strong> concentrated; with the system used in our practice up to a tenfold concentration<\/strong> possible. Blood platelets set numerous Growth factors<\/strong> free (a. o. TGF-\u03b2<\/strong>, IGF-1<\/strong>, PDGF<\/strong>, VEGF<\/strong>), which Cartilage- and connective tissue-protecting and -building processes<\/strong> trigger the immune system: They dampen tissue-degrading cytokines, promote, among other things. Decorin<\/strong> (important for the Organisation of the collagen fibres<\/strong>), stimulate Collagen type I<\/strong> (\u201enormal\u201c tendon collagen) and COMP<\/strong>, that the New formation and alignment<\/strong> of the collagen structure. Result: Regeneration of tendon tissue that comes much closer to the original, healthy tissue<\/strong> than by simply waiting.<\/p>


Why tendons so often tear again<\/strong>
Tendon damage is caused by single overstretching<\/strong> (core lesion) or Cumulative microlesions<\/strong> - favoured by Load heat<\/strong> and Reduced blood flow<\/strong>. Damaged tendons are increasingly characterised by TNF-\u03b1<\/strong> and Interleukin-1<\/strong>, enzymes such as MMPs<\/strong> and COX-2<\/strong> and thus further damage tissue. The result is often Scar tissue with collagen type III<\/strong>more tear-resistant, but less elastic<\/strong> - and therefore susceptible to New damage<\/strong> above or below the old lesion, despite<\/strong> long recovery period and careful construction.<\/p>


Advantages of PRP<\/strong>
PRP is autologous (body's own)<\/strong>, therefore Very well tolerated<\/strong> and doping-free<\/strong>. The treatment significantly increases the chance<\/strong>, that your horse is back on previous performance level<\/strong> becomes resilient. It is particularly useful when a Sustainable fabric quality<\/strong> is aimed for, instead of<\/strong> only on the time. PRP supplemented<\/strong> conservative therapy and structured training programmes - it does not replace them.<\/p>


Briefly summarised:<\/strong><\/p>

- Target:<\/strong> biological Quality healing<\/strong> instead of an unstable scar.<\/p>

- Principle of action:<\/strong> concentrated Growth factors<\/strong> control healing processes in the direction of Collagen I<\/strong> and Ordered fibre structure<\/strong>.<\/p>

- Plus points:<\/strong> autologous, well tolerated, doping-free<\/strong>, Higher probability of return<\/strong> to the previous load capacity.\u00a0<\/p>

For a personalised assessment, we will examine your horse thoroughly and discuss it, whether and when PRP makes sense in your case<\/strong> - including training and rehab plan.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t
